Hualalai
Hualalai is the third youngest and third most active volcano located on the western side of the Big Island. During the 1700’s Hualalai had six different vents erupting lava. Two of the vents produced enough lava that it reached the sea. The Kona Airport is built on the larger of the two flows. Haualalai is projected to erupt within the next 100 years.

Kilauea, located on the southeast side of the Big Island is one of the most active volcanoes on the planet.
